Tangled- Neji X Reader

(I might be a Pisces but you can call me Leo the lion🥰🦁)

After a miserable 2 hours of combing out my hair, I came up with this, Hair Chronicles part 1🥰 implied African American reader! (my head hurts so bad OMFG)

"Stop being stubborn, (Y/N). I know it hurts, but it has to be done," Neji demanded sternly. You let out a groan as the brunette approached you with a comb and brush.

"Neji, babe, love of my life, light of my life-" You sweatdropped at his unimpressed stare. "You don't have to do this, I swear!" He rolled his eyes, pointing to the chair, a serious expression on his face.

"Your hair is tangled and there are twigs in it from the mission. If we don't take care of it now, it'll only hurt that much more, please sit down, so I can help."

You sighed dejectedly, knowing he was right. You sat down with a pout, knowing that no matter how gentle he was it was still going to hurt.

Your hair was naturally curly and since it was so kinky, getting out the knots was going to be a painful experience. Still, the fact that Neji was so willing to do it made it that much better.

"Relax, love, it won't be that bad." You snorted, leaning back. "You haven't dealt with hair like mine, Neji. You're going to struggle, I promise." He frowned, staring at your mess of hair.

"Still, it needs to be done. Are you ready?" You nodded confidently, wringing your hands together. "Yeah, as ready as I'll ever be."

The two of you had gone on a mission that required a long trek through uncharted wilderness, and caused your curly hair to become tangled with leaves, twigs, and other various hair offenders.

After Neji had showered all the knots and things out of his hair, he'd decided to help you with yours since he'd always been fascinated by it.

The first time he attempted to bring the comb through your locks, a screech ripped through your lips and you jerked away. Your eyes met Neji's wide, panicked ones.

You shot him a reassuring smile. "It's alright, just try to start at the bottom to get out the kinks," You sat back and relaxed once more. "Right, sorry."

You waved a hand as he did as you instructed. "Don't worry about it, I should've told you." He parted a piece of your hair before carefully combing the ends.

It wasn't painless, neither of you expected it to be, but Neji had done a great job for his first time with textured hair like yours. By the time he was done, your hair was tangle free and ready to wash.

"Is it okay? I can always do more if it's not-" You cut him off, throwing your arms around his neck. "You did perfect, thank you, Neji, I really appreciate this." He returned your embrace, a smile tugging at his lips.

"I'm glad I could help, (Y/N/N). I would like to learn more about the differences between our hair, if that'd be okay?"

Your grin seemed to brighten up the room. "Of course that'd be okay, I'd love to teach you!" His smile matched yours as he tugged you tighter.
